Take a refreshing break from fast food with fusion surf fare.

The Scene
The nearest Wahoo's may be miles from the ocean, but this chain creates a beachy atmosphere with cabana-esque decor and a Hawaii surf-themed menu. Service is speedy, with a warm aloha vibe.

The Food
Wahoo serves up a fresh, light and tasty fusion of Latino, Asian and Cajun fare. Bowls, burritos and combos come filled with your choice of meat, blackened or teriyaki style. The enchiladas are petite but packed with zesty flavor--especially when topped with the roasted pepper and cilantro green sauce. The most addictive concoctions are the side dishes: Ahi rice is delicately seasoned and steamed to slightly sticky perfection. Cajun beans are tiny, tender and pack a pleasant bayou bite. Baja rolls are flour tortillas spread with a touch of cream cheese, wrapped around leaf spinach, chopped chicken and salsa, and served with the vibrant green sauce.
